Eleven roof Meru at Ulun Danu Bratan


The term ‘meru’ is a reference to Mt. Mahameru, the sacred mountain of Hindu (and Buddhist!) cosmology. It is fabled to be found at the ‘centre of the world’; its summit, at a million kilometres high, is where heaven is located, the abode of the gods

The eleven-tiered merus are often reserved for the highest of the Hindu gods – Shiva, Brahma and Wisnu – such as that found at Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, whose towering meru is dedicated to Shiva and Paravathi, goddess of fertility and love.

    Ein sehr schönes und erhabenes Gebäude. Ich bin sicher dass ich da vor rd. 40 Jahren auch mal vorgestanden habe, Bratan kommt mir so ganz bekannt vor. Allerdings gibt es ja nun mehrere solcher Merus und es ist lange her. mein Tagebuch habe ich noch, da wird sich das klären.
